Yeah, Undertale is only a little over 6 years old, but damn if it didn't leave its mark. Even people who don't like it know who Sans is, or at least recognize him. And Megalovania had cemented itself as a meme song.
This another one of those things that has an inordinate amount of fan labor behind it (music, comics, mods, animations, and even a full-blown fan animated series known as Glitchtale).
The game of course is notorious for throwing curveball after curveball at the player and hilariously (and thoughtfully) deconstructing RPG tropes. Basically, it's a visual novel disguised as an RPG with some bullet hell elements. If you play it like a visual novel, you'll get the best ending. If you play it like an RPG, you're gonna have a bad time...
I love Undertale. I'm not as present in the fandom anymore, but i still spectate it from time to time. Even to this day, I regularly think about it. I can't wait for the other chapters of Deltarune.
I haven't long finished my pacifist run (I did a neutral run before that, when going in blind. Pretty much the only characters I killed were some random monsters + Doggo), and I couldn't bring myself to genocide after the pacifict's wholesome ending.
.
I ended up watching someone else do it, but now both my gf and my younger brother are trying to get me into the AUs bc I know about the 3 main endings, but it's soooo overwhelming.
.
(Oh, and I played the chapter of Deltarune, that was really fun, too)
It is incredible information overload to get into all the fan AUs, yeah. If I didn't already know a majority of the popular ones, I jsut kinda wouldn't bother.
There's already fan comics of Deltarune. Not many, but there certainly are some. There's a really good series called "Paper Trails" on Tumblr (because of course it's on Tumblr).
